A Socialist in Palestine (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Socialist in PalestineReputation is a risky possession and a most exacting A one. If every seeker after curiosities does not find what reputation has advertised, its possessor, whether man or thing, is at once held to be a fraud, and written down as something to be avoided. I have a deep sympathy for every thing that has a reputation, and this is perhaps why I am'so rarely disappointed. I have met many people who have been to Palestine, who have gone from Beersheba to Dan and from Jaffa to Jericho, and who have told me that it was not worth the money, that glory (if ever it had glory) has departed from it, that I should be disappointed with it, and so on and so on. I have now been there and am back in the midst of the great miracle of London, happy that I can still enjoy myself in many places and that I am still young enough to worship heroes and join in the delights that the generations have found in the scenes that my heroes saw and the places where they dwelt.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
